Tauck Family Foundation

Our mission is to invest in organizations and initiatives that equip the children of Bridgeport, Connecticut with the necessary social and emotional skills to thrive academically and in life.

Our vision is for children in Bridgeport, Connecticut to be empowered and successful in their education and reach their full potential.

Our theory of change is to invest long-term in a select number of organizations and initiatives that support the holistic development of Bridgeport’s children. We strengthen our non-profit investees’ capacity to improve learning environments and foster the social and emotional skills in children that contribute to well-being and academic success. Our approach includes multi-year general operating support, targeted capacity building support, collaborative partnerships, and knowledge building and sharing.

Our values guide and permeate throughout the work of the Foundation. We believe in...

• ensuring a sense of purpose in all that we do;
• generosity, service, giving back, and empathy;
• hard work and personal responsibility;
• humility and awareness that we do not have all the answers;
• a commitment to excellence with a lens toward continuous learning and improvement;
• a willingness to try new things, learn from mistakes, and innovate; and
• trust, honesty, transparency, and integrity.

The Foundation has assets of approximately $22 million, five investees, a small professional staff, and an active and committed Board of Directors that represents three generations of the Tauck family.
